Beware of Bulger: Rams QB Marc Bulger looked gun shy last week coming off a rib injury, throwing three interceptions and losing two fumbles at Seattle. He is back home, where he is 7-2 all-time against AFC teams, completing 67.6 percent of his passes for 286.2 yards and two TDs a game.

Giving it up: The Rams are last in NFL with minus-12 turnover differential. The Browns are 23rd at minus-4.

Red zone opposites: The Rams have driven inside the 20-yard line more times than Cleveland, 19-17. The Browns have produced more red-zone touchdowns, 11-4.

The third man: The Rams haven’t had time to throw deep, but perennial Pro Bowler Torry Holt remains dangerous. He is among the league leaders with 13 catches on third downs.

Key Browns injury: The Browns are concerned about bringing running back Jamal Lewis back from a foot injury on artificial turf. He is listed as questionable.
